August 9th was a life-altering day

My mind is just swimming with thoughts but I'll try to get a few of them out. August 9th was a day that will forever be marked in my memory because that is the day that Nettwerk Records called to say that they want to sign Aliqua to the Nettwerk label and produce a CD. It's been a surreal, dream-like couple of days and I still feel like this may not be actually happening. To get a call out of the blue from the CEO of a huge record label is a feeling like no other. He was at the YWCA Women of Distinction dinner that we sang at a few months ago and came looking for us. It's all beyond comprehension really, but a dream come true. Erin met with the execs yesterday morning for a preliminary meeting and soon I will know all the details. I do know that we will be produced by Sarah McLachlan's husband and that we are going to Sarah's home studio at her house within the next few weeks to record a song. It's so crazy!!!! I can't believe this is actually happening to me. I feel like I have to pinch myself every 5 minutes. It's a dream come true to beat the odds and make it as a non-mainstream genre. Who knows what the next year will bring but right now it feels just about perfect.
